ndslice (i.e. Slice(size_t N, Range) ) is a generalization of
D's built-in slices (i.e. T[]) to N dimensions. Just like them,
it doesn't handle memory ownership - it just provides a view
over existing data. Usually, there are two use cases:
1) Wrapping an existing array:
1.1) You allocate an array however you want (GC, RC, plain
malloc)
or just use a slice to an array returned from a
third-party library
1.2) Wrap it via sliced [1]
1.3) Use it
1.4) Free it:
1.4.a) Let the GC reclaim it
1.4.b) Let the RC reclaim it
1.4.c) Free it manually.

Thank you ZombineDev, good answer!
